First published in 1985, this definitive oral history of the Falklands War offers a dramatic account of the conflict through the voices of the soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part, from the Argentine invasion on 2 April 1982, through the mobilization of the British task force and the sinking of the Sir Galahad, to the final assault on Tumbledown Mountain.
'I never dreamed we'd go to war with Argentina.' Rear-Admiral John WoodwardOn 2 April 1982, Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands. Britain was quick to mobilise a task force to recover its territory, but the ensuing conflict, lasting over two months, would cost the British military 255 lives, seven ships and many aircraft.
From the initial Argentine landing on South Georgia, to dynamic combat on land, sea and air, Britain faced extreme adversity. However, despite the harsh realities of battle, the British task force maintained morale through humour, camaraderie and the close bonds they formed in the crucible of war.
Lost Voices of the Falklands War is the definitive oral history of the conflict, compiled by historian Max Arthur. Through a series of interviews, Arthur delivers a raw, unfiltered account of the violence and the emotional toll it took on the soldiers, sailors and airmen that fought.
This is the true story of the heroes of the Falklands war, in their own words.
'Nowhere will you read a record of more concentrated courage, and of the will to win' Manchester Evening News
